The American Dream is living within the parentheses

Published: Sept. 10, 2020, 6:06 p.m.

The greatest moments in history begin as near impossibilities. Tomorrow we remember a great and terrible tragedy that we had previously thought as an impossibility, the events of 9/11. Our finest hours as a nation have not come about when things were certain and settled. The most important breakthroughs and break-withs, triumphs, and transformations occur within the parentheses of a crazy idea. This living within the parentheses is where the American Dream happens, and where we can see that we are the UNITED states. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
